Scene from a Spiderman movie were Peter is talking to someone: "I'm buying the new Steam Machine" "But Peter, there's no Fortnite or Call of Duty because it's Linux" "I just told you I'm buying it, you don't have to sell it to me"

Those Steam Machines are just normal PCs. There should be no reason why you couldn't dualboot windows to play those few games that do not work on Linux.

    I have heard that Windows tends to 'nuke' the EFI boot partition if it's shared with Linux. I'm not sure if it's valid to have two EFI partitions on the same disk, but if the box can handle a second EFI boot partition, that would be a safer option.

    There is also the issue that normal windows shutdown does not mean shutdown, but "hibernate". In this state, touching any of the partitions the windows was previously using could corrupt them if mounted in Linux. (The same applies in reverse, and would be even more dangerous.) This doesn't prevent dual-booting, but some care should be taken that the swiched-from-OS was actually shutdown.

    If I recall that was a bug. Generally windows does not randomly start rewriting boot partitions unless maybe you put it into repair mode from the boot menu and you have both partitions on the same disk.
